I receive useful feedback which informs my future learning

Dear Principal, I‘ve just successfully finished my third year at South Lanarkshire College and I wanted to take a minute to thank yourself and the staff at the College. When I started my HNC, I had no plans to take my studying any further. However, three years later, I have achieved something I never thought or believed possible. My lecturers encouraged me to work as hard as I can and achieve excellent results. They were always on hand to offer advice and help with any subject that posed any difficulties. Their dedication to their job, their knowledge and skills as teachers and mentors, have enabled me to achieve more than I could have imagined. The teaching experience has developed my understanding and allowed me to relate the coursework to the real world. People are often quick to complain (myself included) but slow to praise. I think the staff deserve huge credit for the hard work, dedication and the real and substantive impact they have had on my life at SLC. I will really miss attending classes and learning from them.

I have greatly enjoyed my time at SLC. It provides a fun and vibrant teaching environment which encourages personal development and growth. I wanted to thank you for creating this environment and allowing me to be a small part of SLC. Best Regards, David
